A little more than a week ago, news broke on the Cardinalsports.com message boards that Charles Gaines had given a verbal commitment to Louisville. The 5-11, 181-pound wide receiver was hard to track down, but we caught up to him to talk about his decision to commit to UofL.

Gaines, who is rated as a three-star player, is ranked as the No. 34 receiver in the class of 2011 and the No. 69 player in Florida in his class. "I had a close bond with the coach," said Gaines, whose main recruiter was Louisville assistant coach Clint Hurtt, who is very familiar with the Miami area.
